Rayyan learned to convert different units of measure, for example, kilometer, meter, centimeter, millimeter, kilogram, gram, and liter. She can solve problems in reasoning. For example, Raheema buys 4,500 grams of potatoes and 2,500 grams of carrots. Potatoes per kg is 86p and carrots per kg is £1.68, Raheema pays with a £10 note. How much change does she get? First, she finds out how many grams there are in a kilogram which is 1000 grams. To calculate the cost of potatoes, we need to multiply the weight of 4,500 grams by the price per kilogram £0.86 So, the cost of potatoes would be £3.87. Next, calculate the cost of carrots. Multiply the weight of 2,500 grams by the price per kilogram of £1.86. The cost of carrots would be £4.65. Now add the costs of potatoes and carrots together: £3.87 + £4.65 = £8.52. Since she has £10 to find out how much change £10 - £8.52 = £1.48. She knows the answer is £1.48

Math

• Rayyan learned to convert different units of measure, such as kilometer, meter, centimeter, millimeter, kilogram, gram, and liter.
• She can solve problems in reasoning, as shown by her ability to calculate the cost of potatoes and carrots based on weight and price per kilogram.
• Rayyan understands the concept of grams and kilograms, recognizing that there are 1000 grams in a kilogram.
• She can perform addition and subtraction to find the total cost and change in a given situation.

For continued development, Rayyan can explore real-life scenarios and practice converting different units of measure. She can engage in activities like measuring ingredients while cooking or estimating distances between locations using different units of length. This will help reinforce her understanding of conversions and their practical applications.
